Grammatical tips!

I know it sounds geekish, but it's alright. It breaks my heart when I see a perfectly grammatised thread, with capitals and all, then I see;
"I like xx more then yy."

So here's a thread where we can post grammatical tips to tune up our grammar! WOO-HEE!

Than is a conjunction used in comparatives. For instance:
I like you more than him.

Then, though is a term expressing a time period. Example:
I will go do the dishes, then clean my room.


Your is a term expressing something that is your property. Example:
Your car is nice!

You're means 'You are' simply. Example:
You're a nice person!


Their is a term expressing the property of 'them'. Example:
Their parents were away, so they acted like idiots.

There is a term that expresses a place.
Will could go and sit over there.

They're means 'They are' simply. Example:
They're so ugly, I wonder who let them be strippers.

Some more after the break!
